Growing School Gardens
June 4
3:00 – 3:30pm
Room 519B
Growing School Gardens is a meetup-type workshop to learn more from each other about school gardening in your region. How do we connect to the land we’re on? Who benefits, and what are the barriers to address? Teachers, parents and community agencies all have a role in cultivating school gardens and are welcome to share their experiences.
